Thebandit replied to the thread R2 cargo area air flow for dogs.A roof shade and ceramic tint on the back windows completely eliminates any potential problem.

Thebandit replied to the thread Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think.They want RAP1 and Lidar in as many vehicles as they can get. It's the key to their FSD future.
-
Thebandit replied to the thread Would love to see Rivian put LIDAR on the R1 first!.Yeah this is the key point. Initially the main function of LIDAR and RAP1 is to collect lots of high value data. By this time next...

Thebandit replied to the thread Mercedes vs Tesla Supercharging (which should I pick?).In a perfect world, every DCFC would have a Bucc-ee's.

-
Thebandit replied to the thread Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive.A larger wheel isn't necessarily heavier? Find one, then. Show me a wheel+tire combo where the one with the larger wheel is lighter.
-
Thebandit replied to the thread Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive.Also, look at Model Y options. For every trim, the larger wheel gives less range. Premium AWD gives 303 miles for 20" and 327 for 19"...

Thebandit replied to the thread Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?.The 21" tires have 5.5" of sidewall. That's more than a Forester Wilderness. These are not low profile tires.
